Which Sport is the Best for a Date? (Dan)

According to Brit Martin Rogers, baseball is! From his article (a self titled "Sorta Scientific Study"): 

"Most people buy tickets in sets of two and a large proportion of sports spectators are people on dates," Lehrman says. "Many couples don't enjoy watching sports on television together but like attending it live.
"We have found that baseball tends to be the best couples sport. The action is not continuous, which allows for time spent talking. It has the widest range of food options and there are plenty of natural breaks in the action. If you are looking for a winner on a first date, you can't go wrong."

 I couldn't agree more. He ranks baseball, soccer, hockey and basketball in that order, though I think most Americans would likely have football in that list somewhere too. Despite the fact that he is predisposed to enjoying soccer as a Brit, it's good to see he realized the potential that baseball games have for perfect dates. There's plenty of food options at every stadium, usually some fun antics in between innings and breaks occur naturally instead of a penalty, which is more common in the latter two sports. His article is a fun read as he had to find four different female companions to take to four different events and rate each date.

Something I would also add is that baseball stadiums and fields are all unique - sure they have the same infield dimensions and general shape, but that's about it - and that's part of what makes baseball so great - the Yankees with their short right porch and facade, the Rockies with their mile-high stadium, the warehouse in the right field of Camden Yards - every single stadium is unique, especially nowadays, whereas one basketball/hockey stadium is hardly different from one another, not to mention the playing dimensions are all the same. Baseball stadiums are becoming more and more part if a city landscape and are more and more representative of a city's culture as well, which I think adds something great to a date.
